More Cooling Blues Around the House

I just must thank Laura from Ontario (her blog is Laura's Rose Garden) for sending us here in Texas her cooling weather!!! It has been only in the 90's this last week and we even saw some lows reach down to the 60's!!! WOOOHOOO! (can't you picture me running around outside waving my cowboy hat and smackin' the horse?) (Actually, it's a whole lot more likely you'd see me waddle around and smack a mosquito!!)

We've really enjoyed the 'cool spell' and look forward even more to Fall!!

I was hoping to have a lovely table all set with my newest white china that I bought off of ebay, but after a whole month of waiting, IT"S STILL NOT HERE!!!

Yes, I called, I nicely pestered, and she had all types of reasons as to why my china has not arrived, but as long I remain nice and she does to, well I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

I can't wait to see what it will look like put together. I am not the type to set the table for dinner, but I love love love what I see on so many of your blogs. Tables set with gorgeous china, flatware, glassware, real flowers, lovely centerpieces, etc. Maybe I will take some lessons from y'all and see where it takes me!!

Hope you are all having cool breezes and may you have a lovely week!

Be sure and check out Pearls and Lace Thursday #17 here and see my beautiful hand painted bowl I recently acquired. It's worth the click!!!

Cooling Blues

It's soooo hot here...and no sign of cooler temperatures.

So, the blues in my home help us to cool down...at least that's what they say.

I know that the cool blues and greens tend to calm, cool, and make us feel better, whereas the reds and oranges heat us up. I have always loved blues. And purples!!

These pictures are from some past posts that I made into this mosaic. They range from crisp cobalt blues to the baby blues in the table napkins. I guess our eyes just favor certain colors. I remember as a kid I loved red. Couldn't get enough of it. Now I just love the cool colors! I sure am glad about that this summer!!

Hoping you all cool off soon and that fresh breezes of fall come to us all soon!

Blessings,
